Hi! I’m Ilze and my brand, Made by Ilze, has been in the making since 2010, albeit in a gentle, slow-cooking kind of way. My Etsy shop was officially opened early 2015 with a new range of colourful handmade lampshades, coin purses and hand screenprinted greetings cards.

My aim is to create fun, colourful and eclectic designs that make people smile – after all, we can all do with more smiles in life! I am largely inspired by nature and the unique beauty of the Cape region in South Africa, where I spent my early years. I like to combine African-inspired styles with contemporary British style, to create something a bit different from the main market.

All the fabrics used for my products have been designed by myself and is exclusive to Made by Ilze. All my products are proudly designed and manufactured in the UK.
